With the apple censorship wrt to Damus, mutiny's promotion of their PWA... what would be the arguments AGAINST a PWA? E.g. is it safe to let your browser interact with your private keys? Can a PWA do anything a regular app can do? Any other concerns?
ELI5 please :)
Wishing this miner would start a public pool. I have some hashrate that I wouldn't mind donating to the cause
People using these things are NOT bitcoiners.
I had a similar idea, and still think it's a good idea that gets you 85% of the way to what full moderation would provide.
As to whether it needs to exist -- less clear about that one. Would a btc beginner find the normal bitcoin territory off-putting due to breadth and complexity? I can see the value in something that's basically quality posts about the narrowest vision of bitcoin, by which I mean: many bitcoiners or bitcoin-curious are probably like myself, and do not swallow some of the stuff that has got mixed in with the larger bitcoin culture.
For instance, you don't have to desire the collapse of the government to believe btc has some value; you don't have to believe that it is the source of all manly virtues (for certain definition of 'manly virtues') to be interested in it. And yet that's the impression many get, and is a major friction to people coming onboard. I think, for many people, these mix-ins are considered core to the whole idea, where other mix-ins, like carnivory, are not.
So a territory that pared away all that shit would be a great contribution, I think. But, since all of that pared-away btc content is still fully legit ~bitcoin content, it would confuse people, probably, about where to post new things.
Honestly, we focus a lot on direct sales, and all our inbound is from folks who get bitcoin and understand the store of value aspect and want to accept it as payment. So we don't get a lot of push-back from a sales perspective.
But the biggest questions we get are probably around accounting and taxes.
human rights abuses?
pot, meet kettle
Something is broken.
@grayruby referred me here for survivor pool degenerate gambling with him and @Coinsreporter and @Undisciplined.
But now my referral @denlillaapan is actually making ~econ great again and bailing out @jeff to make his territory profitable!
Whats the next level of this pyramid scheme? Is @denlillaapan referral @Shugard the next to take this place by storm? https://stacker.news/items/750764/r/realBitcoinDog
The problem we face in NZ is that while our community is growing, today, we’re dwarfed by the crypto crowd by an order of magnitude, and dwarfed by those who don’t care and will jump in on CBDCs by another two orders on top. We’re growing, but we have yet to impact the general business/consumer landscape here in NZ.
The “blockchain nz” groups have money, interest groups, and industry communities.
As of today, we’re sitting ducks for this.
I’m jealous of the stories I hear from others about their experience onboarding merchants and individuals in other countries. When I talk to local businesses here in my area, I generally don’t get a negative argument, I get “I can’t be bothered, don’t care.”
Where do we find the hook? The problem to solve that gets people to overcome their apathy?
Don’t mean to be a pessimist, I believe Bitcoin wins in the end, just voicing that we have a LONG way to go here in NZ.
In fact, maybe I overestimated these big tech circuses:
Decentralized inheritance is a big problem to tackle. Keep exploring this!
As for the stabilized Bitcoin: I think it's 50-50 that the bounty gets claimed by the end of the year.
Has it ever happened to you that you migrate to escape communism and then the shitty leftists start consuming that country too? - I don't know about you, but it's happening to me. I have to plan to leave again.
